بَزٌّ

verbal noun of 1. (S, &c.)

[Hence, apparently,] جِىْءَ بِهِ عَزَّا بَزًّا He was brought without any means of avoiding it; (A, TA;) willingly or against his will: (TA in article عز:) [as though originally signifying by being overcome and despoiled.]

-A2- Cloths, or stuffs, or garments; synonym ثِيَاب: (IAmb, Mgh, K:) [see also بِزَّةٌ:] or a kind thereof: (Lth, Mgh, Msb:) or such as are the goods of the بَزَّاز, (S, A,) or of the merchant: (Msb:) or the furniture of a house or tent, consisting of cloths or stuffs (ثِيَاب, IDrd, Mgh, Msb, K) and the like: (K:) in the dialect of the people of El-Koofeh, cloths, or stuffs, or garments, (ثياب,) of linen and of cotton; not of wool nor of خَزّ: (Mgh:) plural بُزُوزٌ; (A;) meaning, in conjunction with خُزُوزٌ, (i. e., خُزُوزٌ وَ بُزُوزٌ,) good cloths or stuffs or garments. (A.) [Golius explains it as “Chald. בוּץ, Byssus, seu potius pannus lineus, bombacinus, etiam sericus:” as on the authority of the S and K (though he omits the explanations in both those lexicons) and Meyd and Ibn-Maaroof (who explains it only by the Persian word جَامَهْ, meaning cotton or linen cloth, or a garment,) and the Mirkát el-Loghah. He seems to have judged from its resemblance in sound to the Chaldee and Latin words with which he identifies it. The things which it signifies, however, may perhaps be so called because they are usual spoils: and hence also, perhaps, the application here next following.]

-A3- Weapons, or arms; or a weapon; synonym سِلَاحٌ; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ بِزَّةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, (K,) and ↓ بِزِّيزَى: (TA:) the first of these four words including in its application coats of mail and the مِغْفَر and the sword: (TA:) or it signifies a sword: (IDrd, A, TA:) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, according to AA, complete arms. (TA.) You say, تَقَلَّدَ بَزَّا حَسَنًا He hung upon himself a goodly sword, putting its suspensory belt or cord upon his neck. (A.) And كَامِلَةٍ ↓ غَزَا فِى بِزَّةٍ He went to war in complete arms.
